Q: JavaFX using CSS: First TextField turns black when it has text inside of it I am having a weird problem with my UI. Take note that this only happens on the first TextField because I tried deleting the TextField that I thought was having this problem but it only passes the problem on the TextField below it. I'm pretty sure that this is a CSS problem, however, there are no warnings or errors but I'm kinda curious why it only affects the First TextField it sees.
Screenshots are below:
It looks ok when it has no Input.

Turns black when has input.

Whenever I hover onto the first textfield(Cursor not just shown in screenshot).

A: I used your fxml and your css. The behaviour was that all fields behave like your first described.

After adding Jmetro base css from the github page
all the fields are behaving like you want:

So it seems, you have some code in Controller that changes the behaviour? Or download the latest JMetro.css and will see if thats the problem. But at this stage its not reproducible.

Apr 18, 2022 Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Free Speech, Russia, Twitter, Ukraine, USA, Will Keys
Will Keys,
"In an earlier article, Will Keys drew some derision for suggesting Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk would be the saviours of the western world. With this in mind, it is worth noting that Elon Musk has just made an offer to buy Twitter. If he succeeds, he will change the nature of the conversation and the neo-liberals who have current control are nervous.
"''My strong intuitive sense is that having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization,' said Musk. 'I don't care about the economics at all. If in doubt, let the speech — let it exist, if it's a grey area, I would say, let the tweet exist.'
"There is a possibility that the ban on Donald Trump and other anti-globalists will be lifted while Trump's popularity appears to be surging. Mr Keys has also taken a very contrarian position on the crisis in Ukraine but again I believe he has shown prescience. Below is a current view" Hannes Wessels.
Being prescient has its advantages, for example, we took a position with Australian Sports-Bet on the outcome of the 2016 USA general elections. We won handsomely. Four years later, we took the same position, but with a reduced bet. We were deeply suspicious about USA electoral fraud, and we expected all kinds of shenanigans. We underestimated the depth of electoral fraud which was enhanced by the duplicity and culpability of the MSM and many Democrat Party voters.
It was obvious on the night of the 2020 vote count that the GOP was heading for a landslide victory. Then, suddenly the MSM, in unison, announced that vote-counting was being suspended. No reasonable explanation was given. The GOP 'brains trust' was unaccountably quiet. The fix was in, and we all knew it at the time. The next morning the MSM announced the GOP was losing. Overnight and miraculously the 'Donkeys' had acquired enough votes to announce a comfortable win.
The Biden Administration has tentacles of corruption and duplicity inherited from the Clinton and Obama Administrations. The average American citizen must be utterly appalled by the moral decline. The general mindset that followed the 'Saint George Floyd death' was a tragedy. The guilty were declared innocent and the law enforcement community was made to appear culpable. Make no error this delusional mindset, if allowed to grow, will destroy the USA. The recent subway attack in New York City is a tragic reminder of the impact of the 'de-fund the police' movement on law-abiding citizens. Leaders of the BLM movement have used money raised for the cause to purchase a mansion to help them recover from not being 'mattered'.
I will not bore this intelligent readership with an extrapolation of the disastrous history of the Clinton, Obama, and Biden crime families. Hopefully, I can inform the readership about factors that may enable some critical thinking acuity, and maybe some prescience. I segue into another aspect of moral decline in the western world.
According to the newspaper 'The Herald Sun' the Australian Federal Government, both sides of the political divide, joined in a common cause to help get Hillary Clinton elected POTUS in 2016.
This breach of international norms was in my book, treason against Australia. Surreptitiously and without fanfare the Australian Government donated four hundred and sixty million dollars to the Clinton Foundation. They camouflaged the donation as an Aids initiative; it was made on a piecemeal basis.
Australian tax-dollars were being used to fund a political campaign in another country. The donation was blatant interference in the domestic affairs of the USA and potentially a hostile act. If the Australian people ever get to digest the degree of the depravity of their government, they will throw these politicians out of office and into prison. The stakes are very high. The Australian Government does not want the general public to digest their evil shenanigans. This contribution to this online magazine is a humble attempt to right these manifest wrongs.
We note that the Australian Government has airlifted ten Bushmaster troop carriers to Ukraine as requested by the Ukrainian President. Australia has no geopolitical interest in helping to support Ukraine. We have no dog in this fight and the Australian decision is in my opinion short-sighted, impetuous and against the national interest.
The USA also has no geopolitical interest in Ukraine. The impetuosity of the USA administration, in its dealings with Russia over Ukraine, is deeply disturbing. Why did the USA orchestrate the Orange Revolution, also known as the Maidan Revolution, in Ukraine in 2014? Victoria Nuland, ostensibly from the USA State Department, acted more like a Ukrainian revolutionary than a civil servant. Why was the USA involved at all? At the time Nigel Farage warned the European Parliament this action would lead to war. Sadly, he was correct.
What was the USA 'goal' and 'end game' in Ukraine? Why were the CIA and NATO personnel so engaged in arming the Ukrainians? A recent meeting at the Pentagon with Defence Secretary Austin and CEOs from the eight largest arms manufacturing companies in the US to discuss Ukraine's requirements provides some answers. The military-industrial complex is cheering the war on.
Why I ask, did the USA operate and control dangerous pathogen labs, twenty-six, in Ukraine? The simplistic explanations thus far given are insulting to persons of average intelligence.
Russia invaded Ukraine and stipulated that it was obliged to do so in order to protect Russians living in the Donbass. Russia embarked on a strategic feint to occupy Kyiv. The feint was to tie down Ukrainian forces. It enabled the Russians to secure the Donetsk and Luhansk republics.
The Russian army was under strict orders to avoid civilian casualties. This is evidenced by the low percentage of civilian casualties i.e. one-tenth of the military. The usual rate is one civilian to one soldier casualty. In international law, military action must be proportional to the threat posed. If the military use civilians as cover, that is to say, they place themselves among civilians, they will nevertheless be a legitimate target. Nobody likes to see the destruction of property, however, it is a natural consequence of war.
The Russian strategy of a pincer movement to surround the enemy in a cauldron and then negotiate a humanitarian corridor has been successful. The vicious fighting in Mariupol and the strange behaviour of the defending Asov forces have created interest. Why has the French President, Macron, repeatedly called Vladimir Putin to request safe passage for a group caught up in the fighting? Who are these people? Any military map indicates, even to the most dim-witted, that Russia is in control.
As I write, the majority of the Ukraine army is surrounded by a cauldron in Donbass. They are being softened up by constant artillery fire and will hopefully surrender before being killed.
I believe the Bucha killings were probably orchestrated by Ukrainian forces. An independent investigation will prove the facts. The evidence thus far is that the Russians were not involved. They have requested a Security Council Meeting to hear the evidence. We should all want to know the truth before attributing blame.
The western mainstream media ("MSM") have been lying, misleading, misinforming, under-reporting or not reporting at all, the truth in Ukraine. The MSM have a record of dishonesty. Remember the Russia Hoax and how the MSM strangled the airwaves with lies that went on incessantly for three years. The lies crippled the Trump Administration. They also refused to accept the evidence of the Hunter Biden laptop, even when they knew it was true. The MSM lied about "hands up don't shoot" in Ferguson, Missouri, and again promoted a false reality.
The Saint George Lloyd suicide delusion was and still is a fiasco. The same MSM is hell-bent on convincing a gullible and ill-informed USA citizenry that the Russians, in Russia, mean harm to the USA. It is beyond ridiculous. Please do not be fooled. The Russians will win this war and will take control of the parts of Ukraine they wish to control.
The western sanctions against Russia will hurt everyone, including Russia. The difference is that Russia will tolerate the pain and Europe will not. Please do not be fooled by a western perspective that has no currency in Russia.
If the planet Earth survives to see the USA midterm elections in November this year, I predict the Democrats will be thoroughly vanquished as will the RINO's. There will be a period of sanity, leading up to the 2024 USA general election. Donald J Trump will be re-elected POTUS and thereafter the corrupt and dangerous Democrats will be prosecuted.
Elon Musk will continue to amaze us with his brilliance and by his actions, he will help make America Great Again.

I'm a Rhodesian living in Australia and have never heard of the Aus govt donating to the Hilary Clinton Campaign but it wouldn't surprise me. I find Australian politics incredibly boring. At the moment they are in the throes of an election between the Labor Communists and the Liberal socialists and "Transgenderism" is the flavour of the month (yawn yawn)!!!!! Hopefully the Loony Green Watermelon Party (green on the outside, RED on the inside) don't win any seats. There are a few good politicians like Pauline Hanson, George Christinson, Alex Antic, Mark Latham and a few others but a lot of Wokes masquerading as Conservatives like the Rinos in USA….
William KEYS says:
The Labor and LNP Governments donated $460 million dollars to the Clinton Foundation. Google the Herald Sun and the stories by Miranda Devil, she discloses all in her articles. I personally asked ex PM Tony Abbott about the Clinton Foundation donations and he answered, I paraphrase "We gave the money to the Clinton Foundation to help fight Aids in Asia". I replied "since when has the Australian Government given foreign to privately owned foundations?"
Jack Russell says:
I generally agree with you, have no doubt that the woke, Left infested West has peaked and is now into the decline phase.
I cannot however agree with you on Russia generally and it's behavior, far beyond savage and obscene, in Ukraine in particular.
I wonder, did you agree with their involvement in Angola ? In Rhodesia ? Have you not noticed that in every picture of chaos in this stuffed up continent you will see AK47s and other Russian military hardware ? Read about the gulags ? One could go on but indeed an Evil Empire.
Hi Jack, since the collapse of the USSR we have the Russian Federation which has rejected communism. We do not disagree with any of your comments.
On the other hand the USA has acted dishonourably in Ukraine. The CIA orchestrated the Maidane revolution against an elected Ukrainian President. After the President had agreed to call fresh elections, why? The USA set up 26 bio-labs with pathogens in Ukraine? NATO and CIA were unquestionably up to no good in Ukraine. Jacki, the USA has no geopolitical interest in Ukraine and their aggression is an existential threat to Russia. What happened when Russia was an existential threat to the USA? Re the Cuban Missile crisis? Jack, we are also sceptical about Russia, however, they do have a case and decency dictates that we listen diplomatically to them.
Bossau says:
Scott Ritter, ex US Marine intelligence officer and ex UN weapons inspector, also confirms many of the points you make above (YouTube). He is known for speaking the truth and seeing past the MSM bs and banned from Twitter so someone worth listening too.
Will Keys says:
I agree with Bossau, Scott Ritter is object, sensible and realistic. He is also an honest man.
Annette Holloway says:
Have just circled in red the 9th November on my Take That calendar. Just a tad over 200 days away.
Will will be either ecstatic or cursing the USA electoral system.
The Republicans are on course to make substantial gains. Cue one happy Will. Chorus of " told you so".
But to quote Harold Wilson :" A week is a long time in politics."
Or Chamberlain muttered a similar line about a fortnight. So a lot can, and will happen by 8th November. If the Democrats hold, or even gain seats Will will not be a happy bunny. Cue Will calling the elections stolen.
Never mind. I am going in hiding for that week. Williams Creek in Australia looking good,.
But seriously a good article from our Will. Yes a bit predictable , but informative in places.
We agree to disagree that Trump will win in 2024, or is the man to MAGA. Need a younger person. Musk might throw his hat into the ring. Could even have the Twitter crowd behind him!
Hi Annette, reasonable people can agree to disagree without rancour. As the Zen Master said "we'll see".
Jeremy Cranswick says:
I couldn't agree more!
Thanks Jeremy.
Shane Tilbury says:
Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt certainly have a lot to answer for. Russia was aware of an existential threat in her own backyard years ago. Let's not forget the 20th Nato Summit in Bucharest 2008. This war was essentially declared in April of that year. I agree with much of what you write, although I have some question marks against Musk and his quest to 'download brains' for eternal life. I believe the scriptures are a more trustworthy resource for matters of eternity. I would recommend listening to Professor John J. Mearsheimer from the University of Chicago for an alternative view to the Ukraine crisis. He is a lone voice shouting against the 'conventional wisdom' of the MSM.
Hi Shane, we appear to have a similar political perspective.

Bitcoin claws back over $1,000 after losing almost a third of value
Reuters, London
Published: 13 November ,2017: 12:00 AM GST Updated: 20 May ,2020: 03:01 PM GST
Bitcoin surged on Monday, recovering more than $1,000 after losing almost a third of its value in less than four days as traders bought back into the volatile cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin tumbled in the second half of last week, falling as low as $5,555 on the Luxembourg-based Bitstamp exchange on Sunday, a slide of almost 30 percent from a record high just shy of $7,900 on Wednesday.
It rebounded on Monday, trading up more than 14 percent on the day at $6,718, though that was still more than $1,000 less than last week's record high.
Market-watchers said the fall had been driven by a decision on Wednesday to abandon a planned software upgrade that could have split the cryptocurrency in a so-called "fork" - a move that had initially had a positive impact on the digital coin, sending it to a record high of $7,888 on the view that this marked a resolution of a long-term dispute.

But some were disappointed that "Segwit2x" fork had been abandoned. It would have increased the capacity of the "blocks" transactions are processed in, thereby reducing competition to get payments processed and lowering transaction fees.
Consequently, analysts said, some of those who see low fees as important to the future of bitcoin were selling it for a clone called Bitcoin Cash that spun off from the original in August. Its block sizes are larger, and therefore transaction fees are lower.
Bitcoin Cash tripled in value at the end of the week as bitcoin slid, reaching an all-time high just below $2,000 on Sunda and briefly overtaking Ethereum as the world's second-biggest cryptocurrency.
But traders bought back into the original bitcoin on Monday, sending Bitcoin Cash plummeting. It was trading down over 30
percent on the day at around $1,097, according to industry website Coinmarketcap.
"Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash will co-exist and serve different use cases, just like Bitcoin and Ethereum. It's not a zero sum game," bitcoin and security expert Andreas Antopolous said in a post on Twitter.
Bitcoin is up more than 500 percent so far this year.

DVD Review: Magic Mike (2012)
Posted by Saam Das at 21:41 on Monday, November 26, 2012
'Magic Mike' (UK Release: 26 Nov '12) // Words: Saam Das
Prior to Channing Tatum's impressive rise through Hollywood, the actor briefly became a stripper - his experiences becoming the basis for 'Magic Mike', an idea he brought to acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh on the set of their 2011 film 'Haywire'. The result is a feature that never quite feels fulfilling in either a dramatic or comedic sense.
'Magic Mike' explores the world of male stripping from the perspective of Mike (Tatum), a thirty year old jack-of-all-trades/entrepreneur, and Adam (Alex Pettyfer), a nineteen year old college drop-out. The duo work at a club owned by the ambitious Dallas (Matthew McConaughey), who hopes to expand his strip club empire.
Adam's sister Brooke (Cody Horn) disapproves of his new career choice but Mike convinces her that he'll be well looked after. The lifestyle of the strippers enraptures Adam, as he settles in and enjoys the money and casual sex. Soon though, he takes a wrong turn, causing strife not just for himself, but for Brooke and Mike.
From the outset, 'Magic Mike' seeks to provoke - Matthew McConaughey grabbing his arse and crotch, Channing Tatum's bum and a topless scene for Olivia Munn all appear within the first few minutes of the film. Later, a penis being pumped appears in the foreground of a shot. Yet that's about as dramatic as the film gets.
Emotional beats are hit between Adam, Mike and Brooke but only on rare occassions, do they prove effective. Similarly, moments of comedy do appear and engage the viewer but these occur all too infrequently. Although I have nothing against either Pettyfer or Tatum (who I rather enjoyed in '21 Jump Street', perhaps more charismatic actors would have carried the film more successfully.
The film is generally visually interesting at least, thanks to Soderbergh's contrasting cinematography of the hazy outside world and the vivid dance routines means. 'Magic Mike' is visually interesting for many, in another sense, of course. However, if this is indeed one of the final films of Steven Soderbergh's career - he has threatened retirement on several occasions in the recent past - then it's unlikely to go down as one of his finest.
DVD EXTRAS:
- Extended Dance Scenes
- Dance Play Mode
- Backstage featurette
There are surprisingly few special features on the 'Magic Mike' DVD, although if you were titillated by the dance sequences in the film, then you probably won't mind. You can even watch them all in a row with the Dance Play Mode. The backstage feature offers some insight, although once again, largely revolves around the dance sequences.
'Magic Mike' is out today on Blu-ray and DVD. Purchase at amazon.co.uk.

Casino tournaments and slots tournaments have turned out to be amazingly popular in the course of recent years. Since they enable players to go up against one another in their most loved games as opposed to contending with the house edge, they permit players who have a superior range of abilities to demonstrate it. The focused part of these tournaments is critical, and it makes online casino games increasingly appealing to aggressive players who aren't as keen on simply endeavoring to contend with the house advantage. Here we're demonstrating how to make your own casino tournaments with your companions.
The principal thing you have to do is to choose which games you're going to play. Slots tournaments are fundamentally karma, so in the event that you need to add more ability to the circumstance, video poker or blackjack are great bets. To make things considerably all the more fascinating, you should search for video poker and blackjack varieties that aren't as popular. You could even have a multi-round tournament that utilized diverse kinds of games or a few varieties inside a solitary amusement. In general, you ought to mess around with organizing your tournament without making it unreasonably entangled for individuals to pursue.
could set up $5 each to have a $50 prize pool that could be separated between the best three players. How you choose to authorize the tenets of your tournament are up to you, yet it's likely a smart thought to keep things generally for fun on the off chance that you can't watch out for everybody.
There are two essential approaches to have a tournament for online casino games. The principal path is to give everybody a set measure of chips and to give everybody a chance to keep running up their aggregates however much as could reasonably be expected inside a set measure of time. An option in contrast to this structure is to have players clash for a set measure of time, and the players who win get the chance to continue to Best Live Casinos UK 2019 the following round with a solitary end or twofold disposal kind of structure. This kind of showdown expects players to play hands or twists together, so they need to kind of self-manage, however, it's a lot of fun when it works out.

Q: what do we call it if write the same method twice in ruby I was just trying to explore oops concept in ruby
inheritance using mixins
overloading(not exactly) as var arg passing
i just wanted to what do we call this in OOPS terms
class Box
   def method1(str)
      puts "in old method 1"
   end

   def method1(str)
      puts "in new method 1"
   end

end

# create an object
box = Box.new

box.method1("asd")

this is my ruby class , obviously the one defined second gets executed ,
but I am looking for any expert comprehension from SO over this

A: class Box
   def method1(str="")
      puts "in old method 1"
   end
end

Pass default value

A: Overloading means a class may have same method name with either different number parameter or different parameter types. Ref overloading
This is the case in most of the programming language, but in Ruby overloading doesn't exist as ruby is more concerned on the method calling on the parameters instead of the type of parameters. Ref Duck Typing
for ex:-
def add(a, b)
     a + b
end
# Above method will work for the each of the following
# add(2, 3)
# add("string1", "string2")
# add([1,2,3], [4,5,6])

So, One must wondering how we will achieve Overloading in Ruby, and answer would be
   def some_method(param1, param2 = nil)
     #Some code here
   end
   # We can call above method as
   # 1. some_method(1)
   # 2. some_method(1, 2)

OR
   def some_method(param1, param2 = nil, param3 = nil)
     #Some code here
   end
   # We can call above method as
   # 1. some_method(1)
   # 2. some_method(1, 2)
   # 3. some_method(1, 2, 3)

Researchers are hoping to create a cultural context for eating insects and, in turn, helping to save the environment.
A team of scientists, researchers, a nutritionist, and a chef laid out a picnic blanket on the grassy lawn of Einstein's Garden in Brecon Beacons, Wales. No, this isn't the beginning to a joke—it was the premise for the Bug Banquet held at the Green Man Festival in late August. There was no risk of insects overrunning lunch—the bugs were lunch.
"You get kids and adults coming up to some insect food or live insects, and normally somebody will go, 'Eww!' " said Charlotte Payne, a research associate in the department of population health at the University of Oxford, who helped organized the event. But those initial visceral reactions quickly get turned on their head thanks to peer pressure. "The other people react by going, 'Don't be silly. Just try it,' " she continued. The respective roles of grossed-out and goader were evenly split between the some 5,000 children and adults who chowed down on grasshopper brownies and cricket fudge between performances by Father John Misty and St. Vincent.

How Did Foot Locker Perform Compared to Its Peers?
By Gabriel Kane
Foot Locker and its peers
In this part, we'll compare Foot Locker to its peers.
The PE (price-to-earnings) ratios of Foot Locker (FL), Walmart (WMT), DSW (DSW), Genesco (GCO), and Caleres (CAL) are 16.4x, 12.9x, 12.3x, 13.1x, and 14.8x, respectively, as of November 20, 2015.
The PBV (price-to-book value) ratios of Foot Locker, Walmart, DSW, Genesco, and Caleres are 3.5x, 2.4x, 1.9x, 1.3x, and 2.1x, respectively.
The price-to-sales ratios of Foot Locker, Walmart, DSW, Genesco, and Caleres are 1.2x, 0.40x, 0.78x, 0.44x, and 0.49x, respectively.
As a result, Foot Locker outperformed its peers based on the PE ratio, PBV ratio, and price-to-sales ratio.
ETFs that invest in Foot Locker
The PowerShares DWA Consumer Cyclicals Momentum Portfolio (PEZ) invests 2.6% of its holdings in Foot Locker. PEZ tracks an index of US consumer cyclical firms selected and weighted by price momentum.
The PowerShares Dynamic Retail ETF (PMR) invests 2.3% of its holdings in Foot Locker. PMR tracks a multifactor, tiered, and equal-weighted index of US retail stocks.
The Vanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth ETF (IVOG) invests 1.3% of its holdings in Foot Locker. IVOG tracks a market-cap-weighted index of growth companies culled from the S&P 400.
Comparing Foot Locker and its ETFs
Now, we'll compare Foot Locker with the ETFs that invest in it:
The YTD (year-to-date) price movements of Foot Locker, PEZ, PMR, and IVOG are 17.5%, 1.1%, -3.8%, and 3.7%, respectively.
The PE ratios of Foot Locker, PEZ, PMR, and IVOG are 16.4x, 22.3x, 18.3x, and 25.6x, respectively.
The PBV ratios of Foot Locker, PEZ, PMR, and IVOG are 3.5x, 7.5x, 4.1x, and 3.6x, respectively.
According to the above findings, the ETFs outperformed Foot Locker based on the PE and PBV ratios. However, Foot Locker is way ahead of its ETFs based on the price movement.

Singapore Airshow 2020 will proceed with additional measures to safeguard well-being and safety of attendees
SINGAPORE – 7 FEBRUARY 2020 – In response to the Ministry of Health's announcement to raise Singapore's Disease Outbreak Response System Condition (DORSCON) to Orange, Experia Events, organiser of the Singapore Airshow 2020, announced seat tagging for seated events at the Singapore Airshow 2020 from 11 – 16 February 2020, at the Changi Exhibition Centre.
At DORSCON Yellow, Experia Events is already prepared with enhanced cleaning and refuse management to maintain high standards of hygiene and cleanliness, hand sanitisers for attendees, deployment of a team of doctors and medics to attend to visitors who are feeling unwell and mandatory temperature screenings at access points at Singapore Expo and CEC.
Mr Leck Chet Lam, Managing Director of Experia Events said: "Since the outbreak of 2019-nCoV, the Singapore government is already working with various stakeholders such as airports, hotels, business events community and attractions to ensure that there are protocols and processes to step up vigilance and cleaning and sanitisation regimens. At DORSCON Yellow, Experia Events is already implementing many of the measures required in DORSCON Orange. Stepping up with seat tagging will support the government's overall contact tracing process, for the well-being and safety of all attendees at the Singapore Airshow 2020."
Mr Andrew Phua, Director, Exhibitions and Conferences, Singapore Tourism Board (STB), said: "STB is working closely with Experia Events and other government agencies to provide continued support to the Singapore Airshow 2020, in light of the current DORSCON Orange. We encourage delegates and exhibitors to look out for one another, remain vigilant, adopt good personal hygiene practices and monitor their health closely. The safety of locals, visitors and our industry partners is our top priority."

High Transmission Snow College Is Face-to-Face for Spring Classes →
Located in Ephraim in the beautiful mountain-rimmed Sanpete valleys of central Utah just south of Provo, Snow College has been the right place for many students since its founding by Mormon pioneers in 1888. Every year, approximately 3,000 students attend Snow College with aims to transfer to four-year institutions or enter the workforce after earning an associate
Because of the size of Snow's student body, students receive more personal attention and specialized help from professors and advisors. The result is Snow students are recruited and succeed better at Utah's 4-year institutions more than any other junior college in the state.
The mission of Snow College – to educate students, to inspire them to love learning and to lead them to serve, cannot be accomplished without an outstanding faculty. Snow professors are unencumbered by research unlike their counterparts at 4-year institutions. This allows Snow faculty to focus on teaching and ensuring that students acquire the knowledge and skills they'll need academically and professionally.
Snow has ample areas of study for students – from Accounting to Zoology, and has developed a reputation as "state of the art" from university colleagues in such areas as science, premed and music.
Snow's science department has earned a reputation for excellence nationwide. For example, over the past seven years 38 Snow students have taken the Pharmacy College Admissions Test. Twenty-five of them scored in the 95th percentile or higher (seven scored 99%). Thirty-one have been accepted into pharmacy schools.
Snow is one of only 23 2-year colleges accredited as members of the National Association of Schools of Music in the United States and the only 2-year school accredited in Utah. This means that Snow's Horne School of Music meets the same national standards as the first two years of an accredited 4-year college and university.
Snow's Horne School of Music features 12 student-performing groups – five choirs, three bands and two jazz ensembles.
In 2005, the National Association of Schools of Theatre awarded Snow's theatre arts department full accreditation and membership. NAST has approximately 143 accredited institutional members and establishes national standards for undergraduate, graduate degrees and other credentials. Snow College joins Brigham Young University as the only other NAST-accredited institution in Utah and is one of only four junior colleges to achieve NAST accreditation. Snow's theatre arts program produces four plays a year.
Ninety percent of Snow students live in residence halls or off-campus apartments. Fortunately, Snow offers many opportunities for students seeking leadership, academic, athletic, musical or simply social experiences. There are over 43 student organizations, 18 academic clubs and 12 performance groups. Snow also offers 15 intramural sports to choose from and recreational facilities for activities such as swimming, tennis, racquetball, dance, bowling and weightlifting. Nearly all Snow students participate in at least one activity ranging from student government to intramural sports to the KAGE radio club.
Snow provides varsity athletics in football, men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball and women's softball. In 1985, Snow's football team won the national championship and has since won several bowl games. This year, the football team enters the season ranked eighth in the prominent junior college football poll. The men's and women's basketball teams have combined for several league championships. In 2003-04, the men's basketball team tied for the Scenic West Athletic Conference regular season title.
An intimate learning environment with excellent instruction, programs, student life, and facilities is offered at the most affordable price in the state of Utah. Compare tuition, fees and living expenses with other schools and you'll find Snow to be the best educational value anywhere. To further reduce the cost of education, Snow offers scholarships, financial aid and campus employment. For more information about costs and scholarships please call 1-800-848-3399 or visit www.snow.edu.
Snow College invites students to come and be a part of the "finest two-year transfer institution in the nation."

Alabama has seven players drafted, lowest since 2011
Duane Rankin
Alabama finished with seven players taken in the 2015 NFL Draft, the lowest since 2011 when five Crimson Tide players were drafted. Four were of those five in 2011 were first rounders Marcell Dareus, Julio Jones, James Carpenter and Mark Ingram..
In the previous three years, Alabama had nine players drafted in 2013 and eight in 2013 and 2012. Seven Tide players were taken in 2010 after Alabama won the first of three national titles under Nick Saban.
Alabama's streak of having at least two players picked in the first round came to a close as well. Receiver Amari Cooper was the only Tide player to go in the first round as the Oakland Raiders chose him with the fourth overall pick.
Alabama had four first-round picks in 2011 and 2012, three in 2013 and two in 2010 and 2014.
Strong safety Landon Collins (New York Giants) was the first player chosen in the second round and running back T.J. Yeldon (Jacksonville Jaguars) was the fourth pick in that round Friday night. Collins, Yeldon and Cooper all entered the draft as juniors.
Fullback Jalston Fowler (Tennessee Titans) and offensive guard Arie Kouandjio (Washington Redskins) were picked in the fourth round. Right tackle Austin Shepherd (Minnesota Vikings) and outside linebacker Xzavier Dickson (New England Patriots) went in the seventh.


Although the health and social sector is expected to generate some 40 million new health worker jobs by 2030, this is not enough - not by a long stretch.
Health workers are a vital part of every community, both in developed and developing nations. They perform a variety of tasks, from dealing with health threats and preventing disease to providing care at the beginning and often end of each person's life.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), predictions show there could be a deficit of up to 18 million health workers by then, something that could have detrimental effects on targets set in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
3. Performance, relating to productivity and quality of care, linked to training.
According to the WHO's Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health report, the largest net shortages of health workers by 2030 are predicted to occur in south-east Asia and the Pacific, due to their relative size.
However, there are also severe challenges in Africa, particularly in the sub-Saharan region.
This causes serious problems for the Sustainable Development Goals for health and wellbeing, which lay out targets including universal health coverage to create health equity by 2030. Clearly, this cannot be achieved with such severe shortage of healthcare workers to roll out this universal care.
"The global shortfall in health care providers is not an abstract risk – it is immediate and life-threatening. Due to a shortage of trained, skilled fistula surgeons, only one woman in 50 has access to fistula treatment. We see these staggering inequalities in access and quality of care across so many critical areas of women's health, from sexual health and reproductive rights to cervical cancer screening and treatment.
Stakeholders and organisations including the WHO have now recognised that reforms and better development of skills are likely to be necessary if these global shortages in health workers are to be averted.
As such, they have been working towards the implementation of programmes that ensure these targets are not simply lofty ambitions, but something tangible and attainable to aim for.
This aims to support member states in implementing the recommendations of the High Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth and was adopted at the 70th World Health Assembly.
It aspires to accelerate progress towards UHC by ensuring equitable access to health workers and investing in the expansion and transformation of the global health and social workforce.
The agenda proposes ten recommendations to this end, many of which will "require game-changing interventions and action by member states" to dismantle the belief "that investment in the health workforce is a drag on the economy".
Importantly, the report also recognises the importance of women and young people in addressing the global shortfall of health workers. It recommends that skilled jobs are created for women and youth and that women should be empowered in terms of addressing the inequity in the health education sector.
By 2020, the WHO hopes that all countries will have established accreditation mechanisms for health training institutions and by 2030, will have worked towards halving inequalities in access to a health worker.
The world now seems to be coming around to the necessity of real action towards health-related SDGs. In November 2018, the largest-ever forum focusing on health workers and global health concluded with proposed actions to address the health worker shortfall.
The Dublin Declaration was agreed to by representatives of over 70 countries and includes actions such as setting up an international fund to support the expansion of the health workforce and strengthening the code of practice for the recruitment of health personnel.
Delegates committed to investing in transformative health workforce education and job creation, especially for women and youth, which is a huge step forward.
Director of the WHO health workforce department James Campbell said: "The entire global community - countries, partners, global agencies - has been energized since the 2016 adoption of the WHO Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030.
However, he added: "There is more work to be done. The world must now invest in supporting the technical gaps of those countries in most need. The health-related SDGs will not be achieved unless the global shortfall ... is averted. The next phase will focus on delivering coordinated actions to support for countries to achieve these milestones."
By creating jobs for health workers, particularly youth and women, not only could significant progress be made towards SDG 3, but progress could be made to impact SDG 4 (education), SDG 5 (gender inequality) and SDG8 (work and inclusive growth).
What at first glance appeared to be only one small step towards a sustainable future could truly prove to be a giant leap for all.
Invest in girls and women. Break down the silos. You have the power – so use your voice.

John McCain opposes GOP health care repeal bill
The Arizona Senator is once again coming to the rescue of the health care reform passed by his 2008 opponent
By Matthew Rozsa
Published September 22, 2017 2:46PM (EDT)
John McCain (Ron Sachs)
While many conservatives on Twitter are fuming at the news that Sen. John McCain won't support the latest Obamacare repeal effort — words like "libtard" and "traitor" are appearing with alarming regularity — Jimmy Kimmel said it best:
There can be a certain poetry to presidential history. The man Abraham Lincoln defeated in the 1860 presidential election, Stephen Douglas, toured the nation to try to prevent the Civil War after his former foe's election. Eighty years later, Wendell Willkie became a staunch ally of President Franklin Roosevelt during World War II, despite the latter having bested him in the 1940 contest.
Now Sen. John McCain of Arizona joins the ranks of Also Rans who, by putting principle over party, has wound up reinforcing the legacy of his former opponent from 2008. Indeed, this is the second time this year that McCain has emerged as a key vote preventing the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
"I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal. I believe we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats, and have not yet really tried," McCain explained in a statement.
He added that he could not support the bill because he did not know "how much it will cost, how it will effect insurance premiums, and how many people will be helped or hurt by it. Without a full CBO score, which won't be available by the end of the month, we won't have reliable answers to any of those questions."
McCain's statement comes less than two months after he thwarted a similar attempt to repeal Obamacare in July. On that occasion, he very dramatically issued a thumb down to a so-called "skinny repeal," shocking the political world.
Because the Republicans only have 52 votes in the Senate, they can afford no fewer than 3 defections if they are to pass a bill. When the skinny bill appeared before the chamber, McCain was joined by Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska in opposing the skinny bill.

Breaking: Arsenal agree swap deal including Mesut Ozil
Another injury to Sami Khedira, picked up before the game with Chievo, has turned Juventus' head towards the idea of Ramsey in January. Khedria, who has struggled with injuries all season, has flown to Germany for some checks on a knee injury that kept him out of the game at the weekend.
This has caused Juventus to sound out the option of getting Aaron Ramsey, who is set to arrive in the summer on a free, before the end of the winter transfer market. However it will not be easy as Arsenal are still involved in the race for a champions league place, currently sitting in 5th, three points behind Chelsea.
According to Tuttosport, Juventus will offer the London club young goalkeeper Emil Audero, currently on loan at Sampdoria, to sweeten the deal, as Arsenal are believed to be a fan of the player, with the club preparing for life without Petr Cech. Ramsey has 2 goals and 6 assists in 20 appearances in the Premier League this season.

During the 2016 TX Contemporary Art Fair, DiverseWorks hosted a Tiny Art Salon out of their booth. They presented various artist-directed events throughout the fair. I was happy to participate in it through Emily Peacock's Mini Talk Show. In talk show format (including cheesy 70's walk-in music), Peacock called out one panelist at a time. She interviewed us individually, and then we debated a host of issues related to photography and other lens-based media. The panel included my husband Prince Thomas, as well as Jean Sebastien Boncy, Teresa Munisteri, and Drew Bacon. Thanks to Emily, Jennifer Gardner and DiverseWorks for creating such entertaining programming in conjunction with the TX Contemporary!

This set is so cute. Cissy has several outfits with all the things she needs to go on vacation. I checked and all the items that are listed in the catalog are here. The clothes in the trunk look like they were folded from the factory. Shoes still in plastic etc. This doll has no box, but her COA is in the trunk. The catalog states she has 2 wigs. It shows her wearing a blonde wig, and with her other outfit wearing a brunette wig. She actually has 3 wigs. She seems to be wearing a honey blonde wig and the other 2 wigs are in the trunk. Not sure how you switch wigs, I dont want to mess with the hair. She said she believes the doll I have is actually morning ritual Cissy. She does look like the Yardley morning ritual Cissy without the robe, slippers etc. Which makes sense, morning ritual Wig is permanent. Cant change out wigs.

Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions Sustainable Development Goals
Revisit Korea's Traumatic History with Park Chan-Kyong's Asian Gothic Film 'Citizen Forests'
by Angel Xing
Park Chan-Kyong's Citizens Forests invites the audience into the tension between Korea's past and present.
The three-channel, black and white installation discusses key conflicts in South Korea's social and political history, outlining the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 on Just, Peaceful, and Inclusive Societies. Through a combination of film, video and photography, Park creates "an allegory of modern-day Korea," according to Tina Kim Gallery's press release.

Park brings the audience into a dark hallway where ghosts emerge from the forests, illustrating the concept of Asian Gothic while depicting the tragic events of the 1894 Donghak Uprising, the Korean War, the 1980 Gwangju Uprising, and the 2014 Sewol Ferry Disaster.
"I wanted to show the distance between spirits and people like us," Park said in an interview with Kadist.
Inspired by Oh Yoon's incomplete painting The Lemures and Kim Soo-Young's poem Colossal Roots, Park depicts the two works' narrative structure in a panoramic frame similar to traditional shan shui scroll paintings.
Similar to Oh Yoon, Park incorporates elements of gut from the Korean shaman ritual, where the song of gut at the end of the ritual invites civilized spirits before sending them off. According to Park, "In Shamanism, there is a strong perspective that does not treat ordinary people as an object nor a classified tool."

This connects to Park's reflection on Kim's poem about how Kim felt towards tradition and the discontinuity of tradition. "I wanted to imbue those complicated emotions and his awareness into my video work, Citizen's Forest," Park said.
Park uses the term Asian Gothic to describe his works, where there are ancient images used in contemporary media. Combined with the art concept of unheimlich, a strange, or "uncanny" feeling created when the artist puts familiar subjects in unfamiliar settings, Park illustrates the tensions in Korean history.
"In East Asia, for example, Korean society was cut off from its tradition very rapidly and violently through colonization and the devastating Korean War," he said. "In other words, the ineffable emotions of returning home, but home not feeling like home."
As noted by Frieze's article, Park reflects on how the country's economic progression makes the past "an unfamiliar, almost ghostly, figure."

Korea is often said to experience a psychosocial feeling that is exclusive to the country. Known as 'Han' - meaning a feeling of deep-seated injustice, oppression and anger that one cannot overcome -, it is a word that has no accurate English translation but is so imbued in the fabric of the country's and people's pores from centuries of recurrent Japanese colonialism, lower-class repression by Korean emperors and modern-day civil war, dictatorship and fervent chaebol (family-run conglomerate) corruption. It is what makes much of Korea's cultural production, from its Parasite-like noir films to ballad music, so specifically Korean.
Citizens Forest alludes to four events: the Tonghak Uprising, the Korean War, Gwangju Uprising and the Sewol Ferry Disaster, which are significant moments where the government failed to uphold justice and peace. "The result of that kind of history is a reconnection with a painful tradition," Park said.
According to "The Tonghak Rebellion: Harbinger of Korean Nationalism" by historian Key Ray Chong, the Tonghaks who followed the new Korean religion founded by Ch'oe Cheu, called for social reform but the government criminalized them for public peace disturbance.
However, the brutal oppression of those who did not agree with the government, including the Tonghaks, Confucian scholars and peasants, resulted in a significant rebellion. Chong notes that this rebellion "set a cornerstone for Korean nationalism."
The Korean War was another significant traumatic social and political historical event, resulting in the splitting of North and South Korea. Just as it ended in 1953, South Korea saw another conflict in 1980: the Gwangju Uprising.
UNESCO notes this event as a "democratic uprising against the military regime in Gwangju" after the assassination of President Jeong-hui Park by the director of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA). While the people thought the death of this authoritarian dictator would yield democracy, another military coup seized power and imposed martial law.

On May 18th, civilians peacefully protested against the martial law decree but were met by brutal assaults. By May 27th, 1980, the UNESCO report cites 5,100 individuals affected in total. But survivors continued to suffer from physical and emotional trauma from the paratroopers' attacks.
Years later, the Sewol Ferry Disaster shook the nation again. According to Choe Sang-Hun from the New York Times, more than 300 people died because profit was put before safety. There was twice the legal limit of cargo on deck, and the cars, trucks, and shipping containers were improperly secured.
"The Sewol sank because of greed," he writes.
All the events featured in Park's installation highlight the need for more just institutions. As SDG 16.1 states, the reduction of all forms of violence is necessary for a peaceful society. Harming civilians who express dissent directly opposes SDG 16.
Park said, "I searched for a way to mourn their deaths through my work of video production."
There must be public transparency as well, outlined by SDG 16.10. The Sewol Ferry Disaster is a prime example of corruption and greed, and despite new laws put in place after the traumatic event, there is still no great change.
Five years later, Choe Sang-hun notes, "The government itself has declined to require changes at ports that experts say would dramatically increase safety by making it easier to catch cargo cheaters. Officials rejected the fixes as too costly."
The necessary conversations are not complete, and there must be continuous changes to ensure a just and peaceful society. As Park said, "The focal interest of my work is about how to revive the discussions that were once so fervent."
